What Brand Hid To Use?

[illusivedreams]

My last car I had a generic brand Hid.

On lexi I want to use something more quality, I used 6000K colour temp last time and loved the pure white colour it left on the road.

I would not go higher .Ideally for me would be 5000K -5500 but I have not seen them max light with a nice white colour.

So what are youre experiences..

Can't go wrong. I have not looked back since installing my 6000k kit.

As for brands, I would more so go for who offers the best warranty. I got 2 years on mine, but i have seen some with lifetime warranty.

I got no brand HIDs... well, it's a brand, but I never heard of them before. Probably best to choose it based on warranty length. Mine are 6K, they have a slight blue tinge to it.

Hmmm, might as well be a good place to ask... has anyone installed HID's in their front fog lights? Been thinking about doing that, as it looks weird having two different colours on.

I would imagine the consept is the same just getting to them would be annoying.

For the for lights I think I will go with the Narva +50s they have a blue colour to them,

And 6000k for the head lights as I have had prior in My Jeep

I don't mind the different colour fogs. It makes the HID stand out and look better. I think HID low beam & fogs might be too much. I changed to a 4300k halogen to the fogs and looks better than the standard halogens. Reccommend it!

Was it hard to install HID?

What colour temp is your HID

Looking back, it was relatively easy. But being my first time it took me a while as I didn't want to stuff it up. I did a small write up a few months back on the install.

I went 6000k.

HIDs are great while using. they prove very useful at night times. i think you had a nice option. i am using generic and experienced them well. they are good

Is anyone here using aftermarket HID globes on a factory fitted HID car?

I'm looking for recommendations on 6000K replacements for the factory globes..

I've recently installed a Mtec kit purchased on eBay, and the installation was fairly easy. These are how the Mtec 6000K and 8000K HID bulbs look like on my car. I might attach some photos and write a short tutorial about the installation if anyone's interested.

Sorry guys I made a mistake in my previous post. These are how Mtec 6000K and 8000K bulbs look like, not 4300K and 6000K.

If you ever free im sure a few of us would be interested on DIY install? Great pic on showing the difference.

i recently put in a 6000k kit from arco import (http://www.hidlighting.com.au/)

got the kit for $200 incl postage

installation was fairly simple, i was installing an air intake at the same time so there was plenty of room on the driver side, the passenger side was a tight squeeze

removing the plastic tubing for the windscreen water reservoir allowed for a bit more room

overall, the 6000k has a very slight tinge of blue, but i like it, if i ever have to change globe, will probably try 5000k so i dont get any blue

I wanted a High Intensity Discharge kit which is a very cool light and better visibility especially during night driving. I opted to go with the single beam HID kit too and love it, they are cheaper on ebay but I wanted a warranty so I got it here Sealed Beam Headlight Kits , or you can try one of the vendors. Also some of the forum sponsors selling Headlight Kits usually have a sale going on. Either way its a great system, and very easy to install.
